In celebration of #WomensHistoryMonth, we are featuring a portrait of Dr. Anita Newcomb McGee (1864-1940), best known as the founder of the Army Nurse Corps in 1901.

Need a dog-tor for #NationalPuppyDay? 🐶🩺

Join us on Thursday, March 30th at 2:00 PM ET for the next NLM History Talk! Soha Bayoumi, PhD of Johns Hopkins University will discuss “COVID Comics: Decentering White Narratives in Graphic Medicine During the COVID-19 Pandemic." This talk will will be live-streamed globally, and archived, by NIH VideoCasting (https://loom.ly/ILbAYPM).

For #TinyTuesday, we're featuring a #14thCentury treatise on equine veterinary medicine that just came back from the conservation lab with a brand new box, complete with a custom size compartment inside. With the added boost in height, the #EarlyManuscript will stand taller next to the other books on the shelf and avoid getting lost in the crowd.

Spring has sprung and we're blooming with excitement to share an illustration of Claytonia virginica (commonly called Spring Beauty) from A Flora of North America by surgeon and scientist William P.C. Barton (1786-1856). This beautifully illustrated botanical work includes the first successful use of stipple-engraving in the United States and is considered one of the most important early American color plate books.

For #FilmFriday, we are featuring a clip from a very rare fragment of the silent film, Plastic Reconstruction of Face, produced in 1918 that shows the sculpting work of Anna Coleman Ladd and Francis Derwent Wood at the Studio for Portrait Masks. The footage reveals the earnest work of the sculptors who specialized in creating masks for World War I soldiers with facial injuries. Trench warfare produces many of these debilitating and demoralizing injuries. Soldiers injured this way often underwent multiple surgeries, but contemporary plastic surgery techniques were limited. Ladd started with plaster cast and then made a copper mask to cover just the injured area. She used fine metal threads for eyelashes and painted the masks to match the skin tone.
